1. Not joining an extracurricular activity sooner- after joining an extracurricular activity, I ended up with a really good group of friends, to the point that I might be going to grad school with one of them!
2. Keeping to myself and not talking to people in my class- no wonder I was so lonely!
3. Suppressing who I really am in order to impress others- be yourself. If people don't like the real you, that's their problem, not yours! When you are yourself, your friends will love you for you, not for some false image you portray.
4. Caring too much about what others think- this goes with the last one. I was way too concerned with what other people thought about me.
5. Spending too much time on social media.
